I really think this was 'faked' by dad, trying to let his little girls reel in a big (pre-caught) fish....here's my reasoning.

First, that looks like a huge fish for what looks like a small pond (but the pond may be larger than it looks).
Second, we don't see her hook it, just reel it in.
Third, that fish is totally exhausted, not putting up the fight a fresh caught bass would give.
Fourth, pops doesn't grab the pole and reel it in for her...like a normal fisherman would do...he lets his little girl reel in what is a huge catch and takes his time reaching to grab it as if he knew she wouldn't lose it (and like he was not really excited by the 'catch').
Fifth, and most telling, his other daughter asks him to 'put that on my fishing pole'...like he had just put it on the first girls pole and now it's her turn.
Sixth....I noticed that the fish is double hooked, one in each side of it's mouth. That rarely if ever happens, you would expect one to be deep in it's mouth, not both in the corners.

Maybe I'm wrong, but it sure seemed like a set up to me.
